  • Patent number: 12381773
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reducing or mitigation alert fatigue from real-time alerts in cyber-physical systems or other types of edge computing systems are provided. In one or more examples, the edge computing system monitor can look for one or more patterns within received data that can indicate malicious activity or other conditions that may warrant a real-time or near-real time response from the operator. In one or more examples, a detection of any of the specified patterns in the streaming data can trigger an alert to the operator of the edge computing system. In one or more examples, the alerts can be suppressed until the number of alerts associated with a particular pattern crosses a pre-determined threshold. Additionally or alternatively, alerts can be suppressed based on a duration that the alerts have been generated. The suppression of alerts can be configured to reduce operator alert fatigue.

  • Publication number: 20250202731
    Abstract: The present technology relates to fault-managed power (FMP), and particularly, to generating FMP in an industrial automation environment using single-pair Ethernet (SPE) cabling for use by DC motors. An FMP system may include transmitter circuitry and receiver circuits coupled together via a transmission link formed using SPE cable. The transmitter circuitry can generate a FMP and transmit a pulsed signal having the FMP to the receiver circuits. The transmitter circuitry can also exchange data signals with the receiver circuits over a communication channel using the SPE cable. The receiver circuits can identify an expected power consumption of DC motors coupled to the receiver circuits and provide an indication of the expected power consumption to the transmitter circuitry. The transmitter circuitry can detect a fault based on a comparison between the transmitted FMP and the power consumption and terminate transmission of the FMP in response to detecting the fault.

  • Publication number: 20250185187
    Abstract: A modular field device includes two electronic modules with a first electronics module secured in a housing inner space. A second electronics module is mechanically and electrically connectable with the first electronics module. Serving for electrical contacting is a plug contact composed of plug- and corresponding socket arrangements. In such case, the plug contact comprises a circuit board, on which one of the arrangements is soldered, and a corresponding circuit board seat at one of the electronic modules. The circuit board seat includes a circuit board guide and an end stop element for the arrangements associated therewith. During manufacture, the circuit board is introduced into the guide. Because according to the invention the end stop is, however, formed on the arrangement and not on the circuit board, no unintended force is exerted on the solder sites between circuit board and the arrangement located thereon.

  • Publication number: 20250049629
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for end effectors having an aperture are disclosed. An end effector may be driven by a reciprocating driver that drives the end effector in a reciprocating manner. The end effector may have an aperture therethrough and may be formed from a flexible high rebound material. When driven, the end effector may transfer energy from the reciprocating driver to a target treatment area on a recipient for therapeutic purposes. Energy may pass from the reciprocating driver and be temporarily stored within the end effector before being released and imparted to the target treatment area. The end effector may contract about the aperture and rebound to deliver the energy.
